Patient's question:
My older sister's child is only four or five years old, but he has epilepsy. The specific cause has never been identified. He is currently being treated in the hospital, but it has been more than two months of treatment, and the results are not very noticeable. The family is very anxious. I want to ask how effective traditional Chinese medicine is in treating pediatric epilepsy. What kind of assistance is needed: Self-healing epilepsyDoctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as, is the most common type of complex, recurrent neurological syndrome in childhood, characterized by excessive pulses generated by overly excitable neurons in the brain, leading to episodic temporary dysfunction of brain function. The treatment of epilepsy aims to remove the cause, completely suppress recurrence, and reduce brain damage. The earlier the treatment begins, the smaller the brain damage, and the better the prognosis. If the child has intracranial space-occupying lesions, surgery should be performed as early as possible. Arrange the child's life reasonably, ensure adequate rest, avoid overeating, and prevent sleep deprivation and emotional excitement; pay attention to safety to prevent trauma, and use medication appropriately. Long-term medication requires periodic hospital follow-up examinations.
